Intravenous solutions with dextran function both as volume expanders and means of parenteral nutrition. Such a solution provides an osmotically neutral fluid that once in the body is digested by cells into glucose and free water.
It is occasionally used to replace lost blood in emergency situations, when replacement blood is not available. Dextran 1 in combination with higher molecular weight dextran has a long and well-documented history as a safer API than e.g. HES for infusion fluids.
Dextran 1, Dextran 40, Dextran 60, Dextran 70 solutions are commonly used volume expander products.
